With her new album \u201cDialddar\u201d, the Moroccan singer Oum once again demonstrates her musical talent and immense range. Oum thus continues her quest for a universal form of music, rooted in tradition yet visionary. On stage, she is accompanied by a multinational, predominantly female ensemble, in which voices and percussion intertwine in an organic dialogue. At her side, the oud played by Yacir Rami, Oum\u2019s long-standing musical companion, adds its refined, minimalist touch \u2013 like a golden thread running through the raw yet sophisticated fabric of the distinctive Dialddar sound. A celebration of voices and rhythms.
\nHaving grown up in cosmopolitan Marrakesh, Oum gained her first musical experience in a gospel choir led by an African American of Jamaican descent. Since the release of her debut album *Soul Of Morocco*, she has built up a remarkable career.
\nOum draws her influences from the various oral and rhythmic traditions of North Africa and the Sahel. Her composition \u2018AWAN\u2019 was inspired by the poetry of the nomads of the Maghreb; \u2018A.B.\u2019 is a tribute to her father and to the ritual music of Marrakech; and \u2018MNINE\u2019 draws inspiration from \u2018A\u00efta\u2019, the popular traditional Moroccan singing tradition. As a committed artist, Oum champions freedom, the rights of women and minorities, and an ecological and humanist vision of the world. As a UNAIDS ambassador, she transforms her art into a space of resistance and sharing, where spirituality and poetry emerge as life-giving forces.<\/p>\n
